August 2 (ANI): The World Bank has said that India is allowed to construct hydroelectric power plants on the Jhelum and Chenab Rivers after secretary-level discussions between India and Pakistan on the technical issues over the Indus Waters Treaty concluded this week in a spirit of goodwill and cooperation.

Out of the three western rivers of Indus, Jhelum and Chenab that belong to Pakistan under 1960 Indus Waters Treaty, India can only effectively block water of the latter through the existing infrastructure for 7-8 days in the winter season when the flows ebb, according to government officials.
